Thaburi 125

1 Andũ arĩa mehokete Jehova matariĩ ta Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni, kĩrĩa gĩtangĩenyenyeka, no gĩtũũraga nginya tene.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

2 O ta ũrĩa irĩma ithiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu ũguo noguo Jehova athiũrũrũkagĩria andũ ake, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene.

In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

3 Mũthĩgi wa andũ arĩa aaganu ndũgũtũũra wathanaga bũrũri ũrĩa ũgaĩirwo andũ arĩa athingu, nĩguo andũ acio athingu matikae gũtambũrũkia moko mao meeke ũũru.

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

4 Wee Jehova, andũ arĩa ega mekaga o maũndũ mega, o acio arũngĩrĩru ngoro.

Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

5 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa maahũkaga makagera njĩra iria njogomu-rĩ, Jehova nĩakamaingatanĩria hamwe na arĩa mekaga ũũru. Isiraeli kũrogĩa thayũ.

But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
